Sam is done here, and if Rhule doesn't make a move, he will lose the entire team.

This thread is spot on. Being at the game today, none of the offense was communicating on the sidelines in the second half. Several defensive players (Shaq notably) talking to PJ while we had the ball. The team was anticipating the change that never came. They know Darnold ain't it.

Thanks for the additional information, LG.  TBH, after listening to Rhule's presser, it sounds like he was giving Sam one last reprieve.  He specifically said he wanted to give Sam a chance to "play himself out of it," referring to the bad plays he had already made today.  I view it as though he was giving him his last chance altogether.  He seemed very forthcoming about how he felt about it and said "the QB can't turn the ball over."  When asked of he felt like he could still win with Sam, he reiterated that the QB can't turn the ball over and wouldn't commit to him moving forward.  He also defended Robby's outburst towards Sam, saying it was after the third turnover and everyone on the team was frustrated because they knew they couldn't win the game with that kind of play.

I understand giving him his last real shot to NOT give the job up, but not at the expense of losing the rest of the team while he does indeed lose the job...  because he lost the game and badly, in the process.  I dont know that PJ would've done any better, but he couldn't have done any worse, and I feel like the team knew that, which is what makes this worse...  it feels like Rhule left the team out to dry at expense of doing Sam a solid.

Well now we see what happens next.

Rhule stuck his neck out for Sam and Sam stepped on it.

If he trots out Sam next week, he deserves to get fired.

The only option now is to cut Sam.  

It's not like Tepper couldn't afford to eat that 5th year option.

 

Cut him and put James Morgan out there.   Can't be any worse than Sam.  NO F*CKING WAY.

The crazy thing is I'm pretty sure whatever happened in practice was so very bad that they knew Darnold at his worst was better than PJ... 

I'd love to see them give Morgan and PJ more chances just because Darnold is done and everyone has lost confidence in him.  Doesn't matter if PJ is worse or not, at least it would look like they're trying something...

Sorry but if they trot out PJ, they are just giving up.

If they trot out Morgan, THAT is evidence that they are at least TRYING. 

Fans need to see SOMETHING here after this embarassing debacle.

PJ hasn't had a start yet this season so I wouldn't be surprised if he got that chance...

I wonder who is sitting at home on a couch or on a PS they could pilfer, lol.

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
